In January 2022, a Cape Town law enforcement officer, Luvolwethu Kati, allegedly shot and killed a homeless man, Dumisani Joxo, in the Rondebosch area. The incident has since been the subject of a murder trial, with Kati’s colleague, Unathi Govuza, providing a harrowing account of the events that unfolded that day.
The City of Cape Town is proposing a new Safe Space for homeless individuals in the Green Point area of Cape Town. The new space is an expansion of the City’s existing Safe Space programme, which currently offers 480 shelter beds at two facilities located at Culemborg in the city centre. The proposed 300bed Safe Space, located under the flyover bridge on Ebenezer Road, has been open for public comment until 8 May.
In Rondebosch last year, a Cape Town police officer named Luvolwethu Kati shot and killed a homeless man named Dumisani Joxo. On Thursday, Kati’s hearing began in the Wynberg Regional Court. Kati appeared in court dressed in a redchequered shirt and green pants to face charges surrounding the incident on January 9, 2022.
